I think it really depends on the person. If I have a glass of wine with dinner tonight, I would still regard myself as "clean", but that's only because I am not a recovering alcoholic. For other people that same innocent glass of wine with dinner would be catastrophic.

But methadone users don't get high on their methadone, at least not after the first few days, and I think that's what counts the most, the sobriety. If they want to count their methadone time as "clean" time, I'll go along with that. Why take away their credit for a great step forward?
agreed. i had some wine last night but i ain't a drunk so i consider myself offa dope. i really don't think one size fits all. we all have different pantelones. (that's spanish for pants)
